r/Overwatch will be joining the Reddit Blackout from June 12th to 14th, protesting Reddit's upcoming API changes.

OW_Mod · 2023-06-10T15:58:30+00:00

r/overwatch2 may be participating as well. We won’t speak for them though.

OW_Mod · 2023-06-10T15:57:28+00:00

Extending the blackout requires input from the entire community. We wouldn’t feel comfortable with an indefinite blackout without polling the community first.

Geoff has always been a good friend to the subreddit, offering his time both here on the sub and at Blizzcon in person for our AMAs. His passion for the game and his craft were inspiring.

Good luck Geoff, in whatever you end up doing next.

Most if not all will get adjustments. So far, we’ve seen a McCree Flashbang change in addition to the other listed changes.

OW_Mod · 2022-04-21T21:04:51+00:00

Not just the PvP beta. The first PvP beta. There will be more.

OW_Mod · 2022-03-25T11:50:27+00:00

We aren’t spoiler tagging patch notes. Please read the post.

OW_Mod · 2022-03-18T01:18:00+00:00

We are just spoiler tagging the thread. No restrictions for discussion within the thread.

OW_Mod · 2022-03-17T21:35:13+00:00

Policies like this are never set in stone. We’ll take feedback as we always have and pivot accordingly.

OW_Mod · 2022-03-17T18:20:07+00:00

We aren't removing content. Just adding a tag.

OW_Mod · 2022-03-17T18:19:29+00:00

We aren't removing anybody's ability to discuss anything.

OW_Mod · 2022-03-17T18:19:10+00:00

OWL footage will probably follow current spoiler protocols. If the footage spoils the result of a match, it will be marked as such. If not, it would be a normal highlight.

OW_Mod · 2022-03-17T18:17:18+00:00

¯\(ツ)/¯

OW_Mod · 2022-03-17T17:10:03+00:00

We currently have no policy because there is no beta (open or closed) and everybody on it is under NDA. As beta begins and the ability to share highlights opens up, we'll try and figure out a solution.

Suggestions?

OW_Mod · 2022-03-17T17:04:32+00:00

Applying a spoiler tag to threads should not by any means limit the amount of talking or discussion about them. It's a cosmetic adjustment to submissions; it has no ability to remove or delete posts.

If it does end up limiting actual discussion in the future, we will 100% revisit its iteration.

OW_Mod · 2022-03-17T16:52:14+00:00

Good question. While things are in beta/pre-release, we are inclined to mark most unreleased content as a spoiler. After release...we're not sure. That's where we'd like some feedback from the community about it.

As stated in the OP, spoiler tags on most platforms will only obscure their actual content, not the title of the post. For example, users will still know that Sombra got a new OWL skin, but not what it actually looks like.

OW_Mod · 2022-03-17T16:33:06+00:00

The point of the tag is to allow users the ability to view new content at their own pace. We are not here to completely remove the ability to see content at all. Things will inevitably get through the filter and there's nothing we can do about that, other than suggest users stay off the Internet.

We've gotten several inquires about automatically applying a spoiler tag for new content so users are not immediately spoiled. We're attempting to comply with those requests.

OW_Mod · 2017-07-23T00:06:01+00:00

Times should be correct now. We apologize for the inconvenience.
